Birthday Giveaway!...

After the mention of Nest's 2nd Birthday yesterday, I was contacted by the gorgeous Julie of "Magoolie" design. Julie has generously offered this beautiful pendant as the Birthday Giveaway! Handcrafted from Southern Ice Porcelain on a sterling silver chain, the "Coastal Pendant" is inspired by the blue and white vintage crockery that can be found washed up on Tasmanian beaches. The amazing thing is, {and I don't thing even Julie will believe this} how fitting this pendant is to celebrate my little stores birthday...Not to mention that Julie has been one of my loveliest of lovely artists since the opening of Nest , but also that "Nest" was conceived in my mind as regularly walked along the Penguin beach fossiking for signs!

Blue and white china was my sign! Finding a piece of blue and white china { in my mind :)} was confirmation from the universe that my thoughts were guiding me in the right direction.... so fancy that!

That beach incidentally is the one that I look across at everyday through the window of my store. :)

But anyway!....If you would like to go into the draw to win this stunning piece {valued at $75}, please just leave a comment here or on my Facebook page. It would be lovely if you could share Nest with someone however there is no obligation..Just knowing that I have your support is amazing and I thank you so much for taking the time to drop on by :)..xxx

PS...I will announce the winner on Sunday so you have until midnight Saturday to go in the draw!

I had a lovely friend tell me about your divine shop 6 months ago. And now every week I look forward to your blog entries and pretty pictures. I just love Julie's necklace, and if I'm not destined to win it could I please ask that she make me another the same. X Nicci

Happy Birthday Nest! Thankfully you listened to the universe Nat because if you hadn't our little part of the world just wouldn't be as beautiful. Congratulations - I hope there are many more birthdays to come xox

There is something about blue and white china that evokes memories of times gone by...scrumptious afternoon teas at Nana's house and the sense of warmth and security that remains many years after those times are gone. Transported back to that place where you felt anything was possible I can understand why that piece of china washed up on the waves provides that sense of the invincibility of childhood and the assurance to follow your dreams. So glad you followed yours Nat. Nest is a place of inspiration and beauty. Happy Birthday!

Hi Natalie, I love your story. We visited Nest in February. It was very peaceful browsing in your shop. From our home in Ocean Grove, I can look south from warm inside the kombi, or from the surf, sitting our the back waiting for a wave and remember our Tarkine experiences and our days in Penguin (at The Madsen). So we will think of you tonight as our moon is closer to earth than ever in 2012 and it shines in your window, and on our beaches. Kind regards, Richard (tourist)
